I see truth here, but where I work, the exec leadership holes up on one floor of the building and almost never show their faces. They get someone to park their car for them and scurry in quickly. Their meals are all brought to them on their floor.

Maybe they just like seeing the rest of us chumps from on high? They sure as hell never come to the office floors.

They have spent so much money on stuffing us all in here, making it miserable and they don't have to be accountable to the complete lack of ROI.

I used to look in on things after hours. Now I NEVER even check if there are messages. I do my time in the dumb office and leave PROMPTLY after eight hours. I take a real lunch also.

This all seems like such a waste.

I mean, you could just switch to porn exclusively.

Hey, maybe that was the plan all along! I just wanted to understand how to fix my car or watch cat videos and now I'm watching a video where some lady is stuffing herself full of, well, everything.

Big porn wins again dammit!

I regret nothing.

I also work in security.

My company (which can damn well afford the costs) 100% REFUSES to leverage AI in any meaningful fashion. The CISO himself wrote the most braindead email to the CIO saying basically that AI isn't a threat and then showed it to the rest of us like he's proud of it.

I tried to push some adoption of AI based tools to help detect our own weaknesses and do some basic cleanup work. Nope. Stonewalled. I argued that every attacker is stealing accounts and burning tokens to tear us to shreds using every possible tools they can steal or even buy. We use Copilot.

Blank stares and crickets. We just keep managing our shit in spreadsheets that some dumbass emails as attachments and wonders why everyone has a different version of some useless thing.

At least they're paying me well. When they collapse in a little while, I suppose I won't be too surprised.

Also, they get to sit down. Like I need to have a cashier on their feet all day. The fuck does that do for me? Let em sit.

I work for a national pharmacy chain that is kind of everywhere in the us.

I fuck with the perscription data so everyone gets extra doses of the gay pills.

I don't see an issue with Andy posting every day all day.

In other news "Americans to see extreme spike in electricity costs".

I guess I will just die. Might be cheaper.

Aww, I wanna be drunk too!

Ooh I have this on vinyl.

I have done on purpose. It is fun and easy.

Go to home depot (I hate that place anyway). Get the type of cart that has the big metal tube that runs around the top. Meant for atacking sheets of material flat.

Buy a sheet of something cheap. Thin plywood, foam board, whatever. Lay it across the top. Get a smaller one and stand it up vertically so you have a top and side facing shield.

Get a nice cordless power tool and put it down at the bottom.

Go through self checkout and pay for the sheets (make sure barcode faces up).

The cameras from the top and register can't see the power tool. Just be cool and leave. Never go back.

It really does take a village.

We are about to dump them. Large us enterprise with a significant deployment.

Hello openstack.

Not that I'm defending that orange fuck, but this has been a problem since they switched from city water to using the basin water.

Ooh do poop knife next!

I am a very lazy man, micromanagement takes so much fucking energy. Hire talented people, give clear and unambiguous guidance and trust them to do the work. It is amazing how easy management can be when you don't get in the way.

Being in leadership is way easier than being an engineer and the pay is better too. Some people really overcomplicate shit.

I mean, when chlorine hypochlorite oxidizes organic material, you will make some chorine gas. However, unless they used an absolute shit ton it wouldn't matter much outside.

Soap is a luxury though. It is borderline free now, it's so cheap. Back then, not so much.

The origin of consciousness in the breakdown of the bicameral mind.

Its a slow read, but certainly interesting.

I dislike the notion that some people lay down of "oh that's not kinky, what I do is kinky". It's not a competition, nobody gets points for being at some "level" of the game. A good kink gets you off HARD and you have an awesome time. It doesn't have to be some fucking extreme thing where you have to have a bunch of tattoos, black leather, knives, ropes and all that shit. It can be that stuff, but it can be whatever dials up the fuck-o-meter to 11. Fetlife is full of people who want to gatekeep some shit. Every group has insular douchebags who want to say they are the expert. Fuck right off with all that shit.

What? Why? There are literal flock of seagulls. We ain't gonna run out of em.
